Brief Summary:
The opening of "Confessions of Pain" took place last night. People who attended were Ayu, Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Jane Xu, Shu Qi, Karina Lau. At the premiere, Ayu attracted 400 fans, of which 100 were able to go inside to see Ayu. That night, Ayu wore a red low-cut dress with 4 inch high heels. Many fans shouted out "You're Kawaii, Ayu!" and "Merry Christmas, Ayu!". This caught her attention, and she waved back at her fans said "Hi!" and smiled. (Reporters also wrote that Ayu and Tony Leung "stole the whole show" and many of the actors such as Takeshi Kaneshiro became a "background") When asked how Ayu felt about Hong Kong after not been here for 5 years, Ayu responded by saying
"I know that Hong Kong has opened up a Disneyland, I'm very happy. Hong Kong is becoming an increasingly beautiful city. Upon my arrival in Hong Kong, a lot of fans were at the airport waiting for me. I'm very happy." When asked about her thoughts on the Chinese version of her song "Secret" which is sung by Denise Ho, Ayu said,
"Before I came to Hong Kong, I heard Denise's version of "Secret". I think she sang the song very well. I've read the "Confessions of Pain" script, but I haven't seen the entire movie yet. I hope we can watch and enjoy the movie together." After, flowers were presented to the main characters, the directors and Ayu and a group picture was taken. Ayu stood between Tony Leung and Takeshi Kaneshiro. However, she left after attending for 10 minutes.

Brief Summary:
After Ayu left the opening of "Confessions of Pain" without watching the movie, Ayu went to the Ritz-Carlton in Central to enjoy a Chinese dinner. She wore a balck & white fur coat (?) and was under heavy security during the dinner. She enjoyed her dinner and stayed at the Ritz-Carlton for a few hours and after, she went back to her hotel (the Four Seasons).
The next day, Ayu arrived at the airport at 3PM and was protected by 10 security guards. About 50 fans were at the airport to say farewell to Ayu. Her entire outfit that day was black and she was also wearing black sunglasses. Ayu's flight was scheduled to depart at 3:30PM but her flight got delayed and the plane didn't take off until 5PM.
The previous day when Ayu arrived in Hong Kong, there was chaos and Ayu was shocked. But today, the whole situation was calm. This time, she was personally receiving her presents that her fans gave to her at ease. One of her presents was a red card with her boyfriend (Nagase Tomoya) on it. After she saw it, she immediately smiled and laughed. She then entered the boarding gate with her staff. Not forgetting about her fans, she turned around and waved her final good bye to her Hong Kong fans and reporters.
